‘Drunker than 10,000 Indians’: US Air Force general resigns over comment in court

A US Air Force general has been forced to step down over his “inappropriate comment” at a disciplinary hearing. He studied a photo showing two officers, describing them as “drunker than 10,000 Indians.”

"I inadvertently made an unfortunate comment, I own it, and I
hold myself accountable to the same high standards my subordinate
commanders are held to," Major General Michael Keltz said in
a statement.

"As a result, I have tendered my resignation from command and
requested to retire from service," he added.

The news follows the scandal connected with a group of American
Indian actors who walked off the Adam Sandler movie, slamming it
for stereotypes in showing the Apache culture.

Loren Anthony, an actor and Navajo Nation tribal member, told AP
just over a week ago that he and eight others left the production
of the Sandler’s satirical Western ‘The Ridiculous Six’, saying
the script included insulting names for Native American female
characters and elders.
